I have been captivated by the delicate allure of magnolia blossoms ever since my relocation to Pennsylvania. The process of sketching, painting, and stitching these exquisite flowers has become a cherished pastime, allowing me to truly appreciate their ephemeral beauty. Each year, for a brief yet enchanting period, the landscape is transformed by these majestic waxy blooms, only to witness their graceful descent as a carpet of petals gently blankets the ground.
